After the critical acclaim of his first book the author was persuaded to produce 'more of the same shamanic verses' before publishing his forthcoming collected short stories.Replete with newly written meditations and reflections' it deals with the human condition in all its heartache and hope and cycles of living.Obviously, going from 'bard' to verse this second book captures the mood of another of life's little twists,as it tries to witness the dawning of a new perspective. It has been said: 'better to light a candle than to curse the darkness '. This is the author attempting to light a candle in the darkness. Hopefully it will both enlighten and entertain as well as provide food for thought.
